1-5: Configuration looks correct for the stated purpose.

The boot entry configuration is well-structured and the nomodeset kernel parameter is appropriate for a basic graphics fallback mode. The placeholders and options align with standard archiso conventions.

Two optional style suggestions:

1. Line 1: Consider capitalizing "Iso" → "ISO" for consistency (it's an acronym).
2. Add a trailing newline at the end of the file (common convention for text files).

Will have to think about this one off feature request. As I understand it only for VMWare use. It is not a big deal to add the option to kernel line live or even add post install. Do not think it warrants another boot option.

A user such as your self could easily build image and add whatever feature they so wish.

Out of over 3000 downloads this week no one else has asked for this.
